Received Debt Collectors letter

Hi guys

New to the forum - received one of these tickets for parking in a private carpark without displaying a valid parking permit. Chose to go down the ignore route, and a letter from the Roxburghe Debt Collectors has just come through my door.

Any ideas the best way to get these people off my back?

Thanks in advance

    If you do a quick search for "Roxburghe, Graham White" you should find the answer.
    Debt collectors are 'toothless.' File it and wait for the ones from Graham White Solicitors then file those too. You should then be at the end of the threats. Its highly likely to end there.

    Just wait! You've got around 5 more begging letters to go. Treat them with the same disrespect, and you won't go far wrong!

    It's exactly the same as me sending you a letter, ignore it

    I also received a 'parking charge notice' for £60 at John Lennon airport on 20/12/2012, I then received another letter on 23/04/2013 requesting £100. This weekend, I received a debt collectors letter requesting £160 from Roxburghe debt collectors. Based on advice from this and other forums I've ignored all of these letters, but I've been slightly spooked by my 'contravention' being after October 1st and the debt collectors letter mentioning the 'protection of freedom act'. Should I be worried?

    Short answer is no. The PoFA simply means the scammers can pursue the RK if they are not given the name and serviceable address of the driver. Enforceableness has not changed.

    Really sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. Thanks for your reply. Got my first 'Graham White' letter today. I'll keep you posted.

    Isn't it good to be wanted? Seriously, they lose interest when you don't take the bait, preferring to pursue those who worry easily.
